Trump White House turns into a sewer

Donald Trump’s pick
for Communications Director took an already vulgar administration down another
notch or 3,000 in an interview with the New Yorker.

It sounded more like
the ramblings of a low-level mob hit-man than of a Harvard Law grad who’s been
tapped to manage the message of the supposed leader of the free world. Here are
a few snippets (not
suitable for most children, or for most adults):

On Chief of Staff Reince Priebus:

“Reince Priebus — if
you want to leak something — he’ll be asked to resign very shortly.”

And…

“Reince is a fucking
paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac…’Let me leak the fucking thing and see if I
can cock-block these people the way I cock-blocked Scaramucci for six months.'”

On leakers:

“What I want to do
is I want to fucking kill all the leakers and I want to get the President’s
agenda on track so we can succeed for the American people.”

On Steve (whatever his job
is) Bannon:

“I’m not Steve
Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock.”

The interview, which would
have made Richard Nixon blush, was potentially more than just obscene. It may
have been a felony. In talking about leaks (he wants to “kill” all the
leakers), one quote got the attention of the FBI:

“This is going to
get cleaned up very shortly, O.K.?” Scaramucci said. “Because I nailed these guys.
I’ve got digital fingerprints on everything they’ve done through the F.B.I. and
the fucking Department of Justice.”

There’s just one problem.
Scaramucci doesn’t actually work for the White House yet. He has no security
clearance.

He isn’t supposed to have any digital fingerprints or any
information from the FBI or the “fucking Department of Justice.”

If he does
have that information, he’s potentially in a lot of trouble.

“If an FBI agent
turned over digital evidence demonstrating who did particular leaks, that would
be wildly inappropriate,” said Ken White, a former federal prosecutor who now
practices criminal defense and first amendment litigation. “It could be
illegal. It could be a felony depending on the nature of the evidence and how
it was acquired. It would certainly be a flagrant breach of FBI protocol.”

Of course, Scaramucci is a
Trumpster, which means that as with any Trump marriage, he and truth likely
sleep in separate bedrooms.

Or, as White says, Scaramucci’s claim is just
“dumbass popped-collar chest bumping,” which describes pretty much the entire
Trump fiasco of an administration.

Thought for the day

“Charlottesville is a great place that’s been very badly hurt over the last couple of days. I own, actually, one of the largest wineries in the United States. It is in Charlottesville.”

Donald Trump, responding to a question whether he would go to Charlottesville to offer support and comfort as so many Presidents have done in the past.

Quick fact check: Donald Trump does not own the winery; his idiot son Eric does under the name Eric Trump Wine Manufacturing LLC. And at 36,000 cases annual production, the winery is not even the largest winery in Virginia, never mind the United States.
